The use of tire sealants is not recommended and may damage your tires. The use of tire sealants may also affect your tire pressure monitoring system (if equipped). Temporary spare tire information Your vehicle may have a temporary spare tire. The temporary spare tire for your vehicle is labeled as such. It is smaller than a regular tire and is designed for emergency use only. Replace this tire with a full-size tire as soon as possible. Note: The Low Tire Warning system will detect the temporary spare tire and illuminate the low tire warning light until the spare tire is replaced with a proper full-size tire. To reset the system, refer to Servicing your tires in the Maintenance and specifications chapter. If you use the temporary spare tire continuously or do not follow these precautions, the tire could fail, causing you to lose control of the vehicle, possibly injuring yourself or others. 190 2004 Monterey (mty) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA English (fus)
